Changez Kahn, a Pakistani-American man native of Lahore, serves as the main character to Mohsin Hamid's 'The Reluctant Fundamentalist'. Changez is first introduced as a valedictorian PhD graduate at Princeton University, and is offered a prestigious contract as an analyst for Underwood Samson, a consultancy firm based in New York City. Shortly after, he moves to NY, where he has to juggle between work, his newfound fascination for the life in the Big Apple and his blooming romance with Erica, an elusive aspiring writer. 
After the events of 9/11, Changez is forced to deal with his inner conflict between his identity as a native of Pakistan and as an American employee, to the point of questioning his loyalty to either one of his two "homes".
